Systems and methods are provided for utilizing a heterogeneous computing platform of an IHS (Information Handling System) to identify an audio headset worn by a user of the IHS. An orchestrator device of the IHS uses resources of the heterogeneous computing platform to capture a plurality of images of a user of the IHS, such as using integrated and/or external cameras of the IHS. Based on the captured images of the user, a determination is made regarding whether the user is wearing an audio headset and the audio headset worn by the user is identified. The IHS is then configured for audio outputs to the identified audio headset worn by the user.

Systems and methods support collection of validated telemetry by an Information Handling System (IHS). A policy decision point (PDP) of a zero-trust computing environment controls access to protected resources The PDP identifies a telemetry stream of the IHS to be validated and identifies a telemetry definition specifying telemetry being collected by the IHS. The PDP updates the telemetry definition to specify adjustments to telemetry streams of the IHS to be authenticated and transmits the updated telemetry definition to the IHS. The IHS identifies telemetry that is ready for transmission and, based on the updated telemetry definition received from the policy decision point, generates a digital signature that authenticates the telemetry that is ready for transmission. The authenticated telemetry is transmitted to one or more destinations specified in the updated telemetry definition.

Managing embedded subscriber identity module (eSIM) credentials in heterogeneous computing platforms

Systems and methods support collection of telemetry by an Information Handling System (IHS). A policy decision point of a zero-trust computing environment controls access to protected resources and receives an indication of attack related to the IHS. A telemetry definition is identified that specifies telemetry being collected by the IHS and it is updated to specify a security delay for telemetry related to the indication of attack. The updated telemetry definition is transmitted to the IHS. Upon identifying telemetry that is ready for transmission, the IHS determines whether the telemetry is subject to a security delay specified in the updated telemetry definition. When the telemetry is subject to a security delay, the telemetry that is ready for transmission is queued and transmitted to one or more destinations specified in the updated telemetry definition upon expiration of the security delay.
